A Time Out - My Niece Amy's Card

It's a cloudy day outside today in Midland, Michigan.  We have a 30% chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms.  Our high temp for today is 78F with a low tonight of 52F.  The winds are WSW at 5 to 10mph.


Personal Note and A Time Out
My Husband had a heart surgery procedure called The Watchman Implant last week.  He is doing very well; but, we are taking some time to heal and slow our lives down a bit.  The Watchman Implant is a one-time, minimally invasive procedure for people with atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem who need an alternative to blood thinners.  Through some prior testing, we learned that Randy was a good candidate for this procedure.

How the WATCHMAN Implant Works.  You can click on the link below to learn more.

How The WATCHMAN Device Works

To understand how the WATCHMAN Implant works, it helps to know more about the connection between atrial fibrillation and stroke.

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, affects your heart’s ability to pump blood normally. This can cause blood to pool in an area of the heart called the left atrial appendage, or LAA. There, blood cells can stick together and form a clot. When a blood clot escapes from the LAA and travels to another part of the body, it can cut off the blood supply to the brain, causing a stroke.1,2

In people with AFib not caused by a heart valve problem, more than 90% of stroke-causing clots that come from the heart are formed in the LAA.1 That’s why closing off this part of the heart is an effective way to reduce stroke risk.

The WATCHMAN Implant fits right into your LAA. It’s designed to permanently close it off and keep those blood clots from escaping. The WATCHMAN Implant is about the size of a quarter and made from very light and compact materials commonly used in many other medical implants.  

AND...
We have been helping Randy's Brother remodel a house so he can move in soon.  We were hoping that would happen by Sept. 1st; but, the floors are taking longer than expected.  The floors are Oak hardwood floors that Brother is sanding, staining and varnishing by himself.  So, with Randy being laid up, we fell behind some and I can only do the 'Gopher' duties, errands and little, easy tasks.  

So, another reason that we had to take a step back.  Hopefully, soon, Randy will be healed, Brothers house will be move in ready and I will back at my paper crafting and Rockin' my blog again!!!

Please remember to give credit where credit is due.  If you use my ideas on your blog, please give credit and share a link back to my blog!!!


My share for today is an Alternate Thank You Card that Stampin' Up! shared how to make with us in their Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin Kit.  Let's take a look:


And...Stampin' Up! gave us the Gold Foil Honeycomb Sheets in our Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin Kit.

You can use the Honeycomb Sheets as they are in a Rectangle or cut them into any dimension or shape to use on any Card or Project.  I cut mine like Stampin' Up! did on their Card and adhered it to the Green Card Base from the Kit.


Stampin' Up! also gave us two Classic Stampin' Ink Spots in our Kit; one is Crushed Curry and the other is Soft Suede Ink.  I stamped the Center of my Sunflowers with Soft Suede Ink.

I stamped the Petals of my Sunflowers in Crushed Curry Ink using the Twist Technique.  Just ink up your stamp, stamp it onto the Sunflower die cut, ink up your stamp again, turn your block a quarter turn and stamp onto the die cut again.  This makes your Sunflowers look fuller!  So, the Sunflower on the left was stamped using the Twist Technique and the one on the right was stamped once.

I adhered my two Sunflowers to my Card.

I trimmed apart the Small Flower Sprig Die Cut from the Kit and adhered it to my Card.

I fussy cut out a Leaf from one of the other Card Bases and adhered it to my Card.

I adhered two of the Bee Die Cuts to my Card.

I stamped 'Thank You' onto one of the Label Die Cuts from the Kit in Soft Suede Ink and adhered it to my Card.


I will definitely be creating more of all of the Cards from the Kit and using a Happy Birthday Greeting.  I have lots of Birthdays coming up and I think these Cards would make great Birthday Cards.

Make it a FUN day every day!!!

Thanks so much again to all my Blog Reader's for visiting my Blog!!!  You're AWESOME and you've really made me feel special!!!

I also want to thank all the Paper Pumpkin Subscribers for visiting my Blog.  I get so many blog readers that visit my blog to see my Alternate Paper Pumpkin Cards and Projects.  You're all so AWESOME!!!
